Which side of the plane to sit from Orlando International Airport (Orlando) to Arnold Palmer Regional Airport (Latrobe)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point for the Atlantic coastline during the climb and the scenic approach over the Laurel Highlands into Latrobe.
Space Coast
On clear days, the Kennedy Space Center and the thin strip of Cape Canaveral are visible to the east.
Carolina Coastline
Sweeping views of the Grand Strand and the intricate network of barrier islands along the Atlantic.
Chesapeake Bay
Distal views of the southern mouth of the bay and the Norfolk area depending on the specific airway used.
Laurel Highlands
The picturesque rolling hills and ridges of Western Pennsylvania during the final descent into Latrobe.
The right side is ideal for morning flights to see the sun rising over the Atlantic Ocean. This side typically offers better views of the Atlantic barrier islands. Watch for the lush, green ridges of the Laurel Ridge as you approach LBE, which are especially vibrant in autumn.
Orlando Theme Parks
Aerial views of the sprawling Walt Disney World and Universal resorts shortly after takeoff from MCO.
Okefenokee Swamp
The massive, dark-water wilderness straddling the Florida and Georgia border is visible during early cruise.
Blue Ridge Mountains
Dramatic views of the hazy blue peaks of the Appalachian range through North Carolina and Virginia.
West Virginia Highlands
Deep river canyons and densely forested ridges as the flight crosses into the mid-Atlantic region.
Choose the left side for late afternoon or evening flights to witness the sunset over the Appalachian ridges. Keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff to spot the distinct icons of Orlando's major theme parks.
